Comments about ‘House passes major energy-climate bill’

For the love of freedom and this great country, urge your elected
representatives to vote down this massive tax measure. It will not affect
global temps and it will not create "millions" of jobs. Al Gore and his cronies
stand to reap a "windfall" if this legislation passes. For a reasoned
explanation, Google "Keith Rattie Utah Valley University" to read how this
legislation will impact our lives.

it's not about "love of freedom for this great country", it's just about
changing our habits of energy use and production. save your flag waving for
real issues like the bill of rights. you can change your thermostat, drive more
economically, and turn off unused lights and appliances. it's easy. most
people around the world already have much more expensive energy than we have.
we can stand a little change towards burning less fossil fuel for our wants.
there are other good fuels such as uranium.

this bill will create
new jobs in new fields related to cleaner energy production, maybe
conservation.

If this passes you can expect to pay more than $2500 a year per household in
energy costs. Can you afford this? Al Gore is the biggest hypocrite in history
and I don't know how he has snowed people this long. The man simply is not good
for America.

There's better things to talk about rather then global warming and a new energy
Bill that goes for another trillion dollar vote on the floor today, as the Dem's
vote YES and the RINO's and Moderates go along with their vote's. It will
happen. I would rather read about this, On June 12th, astronauts onboard the
International Space Station watched in amazement as Russia's Sarychev Peak
volcano erupted directly beneath their spacecraft. The rare photo they took is a
must-see. An enormous sulfur dioxide plume from the eruption is now
circumnavigating the globe at northern latitudes, producing spectacular sunsets
for international air travelers. Then learn AmeriKA is now fully bankrupt and
has no more money left.

The great deceiver is at it again. This week Comrade Obamas one hand is
inviting the fourth branch of his administration (i.e. the mainstream media) to
place their undivided attention on his socialized medicine program, while the
other hand is going to try to sneak his scam and tax climate bill and union card
check bill through Congress.

Matheson already voted against Barrys
scam and tax bill in committee, so make sure to contact him today to remind him
to vote against it again. If passed, it will become the most expensive tax
increase in American history and affect everyone, particularly lower income
individuals. It will also seriously stifle any type of economic recovery.

In an interview in 2008 with the San Francisco Chronicle, Senator Obama
said that electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket under his plan to fight
global warming. He also said that under his plan, if somebody wants to build a
coal-powered plant, they can; its just that it will bankrupt them.

By
the way, someone might want to inform Barry that the earth is actually
cooling.

Global warming stopped in 1998, according to a well-respected study that
accounted for temperature reading stations that had become urbanized. Thus,
this bill is nothing more than another bill whose unintended consequences will
have far greater impact on society than its backers realize. Look at the
ridiculous bailout plans to keep the prices of peoples' homes high and preserve
their equity. In Utah, for example, the federal bailout money went to
contractors in the form of incentives to buyers of newly constructed homes.
This immediately reduced demand for existing homes -- the very houses with which
whose falling prices we were concerned. Much of the federal bailout money is
going to mortgage holders, allowing them to absorb losses on short sales. The
result? More homes on the market, meaning lower prices because nobody can
change the basic rule of economics -- supply and demand. Now the U.S., which
isn't even one of the nations most responsible for pumping carbon dioxide into
the atmosphere, thinks it can affect world climate by making people use electric
cars and electric lawnmowers. Doesn't anybody realize where most of our
electricity comes from -- burning of coal.

Even scientists say this won't change
the global climate trends, but we want to do it anyway. Politicians just feel
the need to do SOMETHING or they will be blamed for EVERYTHING.

It
doesn't hurt that a bunch of their friends (Al Gore and Company) will benefit
greatly from this pseudo-tax forced to be tacked onto the prices of EVERYTHING
we use or do from now on, till the end of our days. It doesn't really matter
that it will have no impact on Global Climate.

So much for President
Obama's promise not to raise taxes for anyone making less than $250,000/year.
It's undeniable that this is anything other than a stealthy-tax on EVERYTHING
and EVERYONE.

First off DN, none of my comments are ever found to be abusive, offensive,
off-topic, misrepresentative, more than 200 words, yet you already censored
several other posts on other topica, let's see if you'll do the same here to.
Don't worry Utah, when this Bill reaches the US Senate, it'll pass there to,
because YOUR Bennett and Hatch will go along with it there to, mark my word's
here to.

This isn't about science. This is about paying thousands of dollars more just
for energy costs, with no benefit. Even the supporters admit there will be
costs, but they are afraid to admit, or don't truly know, the real costs to
this. There will be jobs lost because of this, not gained. This is about what
the Wall Street Journal claimed could become the biggest tax in our country's
history. Quit this "Republican nutjobs" this and "Obama won" that. You want to
pay up to your nostrils in taxes, fine. You do that. The rest of us want to be
able to afford energy. We are trying to take care of ourselves and the
environment, without being forced to. We are trying to do this in our own way,
without having to toot our horns and say, "We are so good. Look at us." Then to
be benefitting financially from it, like Al Gore, is just disgraceful. He is a
phony and a hypocrite who cares only about the money, not the environment.If you
don't believe it, he's worth $100 million now. Where did that money come from?
He left office worth $2 million.

THIS MAKES ME SICK. We are sitting on the largest source of energy in the
country and these people are trying to make it too expensive The provo power
plant had a coal fueled power and it was very cheap clean and easy to operate I
worked there in the 1950 and we were making improvements. The coal was powder
and was forced into a hot boiler and little to no smoke.

Yeah, you're right. YOU are so smart. YOU know sooooo much more than everyone
else. Your ego is HILARIOUS.

B Hussein said he was going to bankrupt
the coal industry and now he is doing it. The Dems talk about creating new jobs
- why do they fail to mention the jobs they are killing? The answer - they are
self serving.

This is more socialism. From everything I've read about
this bill there is a concensus that higher energy costs will result. How is this
justified? Lower income households will have credits and rebates to help pay for
their energy. What does that mean? Their neigbors who are already paying more
taxes are now going to pay for their energy costs. More redistribution of
wealth. Aweful policy. Socialism doesn't work - look at Cuba, look at S. Korea
vs N. Korea, look at Hong Kong vs Red China. Why is China's economy growing so
fast? They are starting to impliment capitalism.

To those of you who think you can save by using less, forget it.You will still
pay more. And a lot more. You can cut your usage in half, and your bills will
still be at least 50% higher.And those of you that think it's about greed,it is.
This is a huge income for Govt.They are just as greedy as anyone else on this
planet.Yes, this is a political solution, not a scientific one.

If you looked at the satellite
temperature data you would see the temperature increasing until 1998, when it
peaked and slowly began to decline.

No year since then has even come
close to being as hot as 1998, and the global temperature for the past two years
is virtually unchanged from what it was 20 years ago.

This is not
unprecedented; since 1850 the earth's temperature climbed until it peaked during
the 1930's and then slowly declined, bottoming out in the mid-1970s (the time
when most scientists believed we were headed for another ice age).

Since the 1970's it has increased but since peaking in 1998 it appears to be
on the decline again. This despite the fact that carbon dioxide emissions have
accelerated during the past 50 years.

For all you conservative's, it's funny here, the Quaker's don't whine as much as
your doing, about paying thousands of dollars more just for energy costs, with
no benefit, they don't use electric, so why should they?. Your just to spoiled,
that's all. As for those Demo's now, they have nothing to fear on this vote, and
ACORN did not even help them out on this trillion dollar round either, the
Moderate's, RINO's, and Utah's own to, will go along with them, because they
don't want a conflict before midterm election's in 2010, on the news. That's the
truth. That's my view to.

If you don't like them, then, don't vote
for them in 2010 and re-elect them again.

Look it up--this climate bill would have negligible affect on the climate in
this century. That is published, readily available information that Congress
surely knows.

So passage of this bill must have some other agenda,
which isn't hard to see. Any bill that makes such a huge transfer of power and
money has an obvious agenda.

This bill is NOT about air
pollution--CO2 is not part of air pollution. It's about transferring money and
power, plain and simple.

The most shocking, incredible aspect of this
bill is it makes no provision for the biggest, best, most obvious solution to
clean electricity--nuclear power. That fact in itself speaks volumes about the
origins and motivations of this bill.
